This document provides assembly and operational instructions for the Francis Ottoman Electric Lift Up Bed.

Function Description:

The Francis Ottoman Electric Lift Up Bed is a motorized storage bed designed to provide easy access to under-bed storage. It features an electric lift mechanism that raises the mattress base, revealing a spacious storage area beneath. The bed is operated via a remote control, allowing for effortless lifting and lowering of the mattress base. The design incorporates safety features and guidelines for proper assembly and use to ensure longevity and prevent damage.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Mattress Base Boards: The bed utilizes both headend (5) and footend (6) mattress base boards, connected by metal plates (J).
• Motor Guard Panels: The bed includes motor guard side panels (14) and end panels (15) to protect the motor system.
• Power Supply: The bed requires a mains power lead (16) for operation, which must be connected to an earthed wall socket for safety.
• Remote Control: A remote control (11) is used to operate the electric lift mechanism. It is stored in a pocket behind the headboard's storage flap.
• Storage Height: The maximum storage height under the bed is 210mm.
• Hardware: The assembly requires various bolts (M8x30mm, M8x60mm), spring washers, flat washers, plastic barrel nuts, and screws (5x50mm). Specific tools like an Allen key (for M8 bolts) and a 17mm spanner (for M10 motor nut) are provided. A crosshead screwdriver is also required.

Usage Features:

• Electric Lift Mechanism: The primary feature is the motorized lift-up system, controlled by a remote, which allows the mattress base to be raised and lowered automatically.
• Under-Bed Storage: The bed offers significant storage space beneath the mattress base, accessible by lifting the bed.
• Remote Control Operation: The remote control has "UP" and "DOWN" arrowed buttons for intuitive operation.
• Automatic Stop: The lift mechanism is designed to stop automatically when the mattress base reaches its fully raised or lowered position.
• Emergency Lowering: In case of a power cut or malfunction, the bed can be manually lowered by two people after removing the mattress and the four M8 motor nuts, then gently pushing the motors off the pivot pins.
• Motor Synchronisation: If the mattress base board is not level, a synchronisation process is outlined: ensure DIN plugs are firmly pushed in, drive base boards to their lowest point, and keep the "DOWN" button pressed for 8 seconds after the boards touch the rails.
• Single Size Variation: For single-size beds, the base board support rails (8) do not include central uprights.

Maintenance Features:

• Periodic Bolt Checks: Users are advised to periodically check that all bolts are still tight to ensure the bed's stability and safety.
• Battery Replacement: Instructions are provided for replacing the remote control batteries, which are expected to last approximately two years. Users are reminded to dispose of old batteries safely.
• Care & Maintenance Contact: A customer service number (0344 292 00 00) is provided for missing or damaged parts, with a request to quote part code reference numbers.
• Storage Guidelines: Important warnings are given regarding storage:
  • Do not store anything inside the motor guard box or where it might get damaged by the motor.
  • Ensure stored items do not touch the underside of the mattress base boards to prevent obstructions during downward travel.
  • If an obstruction occurs, release the button immediately and check for the obstruction.
• Moving the Bed: Users are explicitly warned not to move the bed by pushing on the mattress base boards, as this may damage the bed or prevent it from being lowered.

Assembly Notes:

• Assembly requires two persons and is estimated to take 1.5 hours.
• A full instructional video is available on YouTube via the provided URL.
• It is crucial to read all instructions carefully before starting assembly.
• Retain all packaging until assembly is complete and all parts are accounted for.
• Small components should be kept away from young children to avoid choking hazards.
• Barrel nuts, when supplied, must be fitted correctly with the hole facing the intersecting hole in the panel.
• The bed should ideally be assembled in the room where it will be located.
• Bolts should be loosely fitted initially and tightened 100% only after all wooden base board support rails are in place and the bed is squared up.
• Motor nuts should not be over-tightened, and a small gap must be maintained.
